These pages contain resources (a background to the singers, lyrics and sheet music) to accompany a selection of songs that were taught in schools and the community across the East Anglia region in 2022 and 2023.
There are also audio links to the recordings made in the schools and community groups which are available to listen to via our Youtube Music account. Additionally, video recordings can be found with the Schools & Community Workshops pages and a full film is also available to view from these pages.
